I was quite amazed to see that two scripts out of 40 have the same tittle. Quite odd for such a small amount of scripts.
It happened in the October 2006 OWC as well. There were two scripts called Spoiled, as I recall. And that had even fewer entries, I believe. It's strange, but it does happen.
Um, Mike I wasn't even mad I'm a very mellow monosyllabic individual so even though it may come off as anger I'm truly not. I was just stating something, and no need for the 'guy' I'm a girl. AB, steel you're a good looking guy...are you interested in acting?
-Have you ever transcended space and time?
-Yes. No. Uh, time, not space... No, I don't know what you're talking about
Hey, whatever, I was just commenting on what I read in your last post and the one before it about those who had read your scripts. Just trying to keep the peace. It's my job after all.
And I meant "guy" in the royal sense.
Okay, that was bullshit, but can you blame me for assuming based on your sig?
Now we sing and make up...

I've read 10 or 12 entries so far and while the quality is certainly varied, I though that all the writers incorporated the boat quite nicely. However, not many of the scripts could be considered thrillers. Not even by a long shot
What has impressed me the most is the number of entries this time around. Kudos.
Down in the hole / Jesus tries to crack a smile / Beneath another shovel load
OK. I have read each and every one of the scripts. First thing I would like to say is well done to everyone who participated. There isn't a single terrible script in the whole bunch in my honest opinion. I was extremely impressed by the quality as a whole.
Just for a bit of fun, I'd like to present some completely unofficial awards.
Winner : Four Men In A Boat
While the story lacked some polish I thought it was the piece that entered most into the spirit of things, using the boat and genre to good effect and telling an interesting story.
Runners Up: The River is Her Home
A beautifully evocative piece, my personal favourite, just didn't quite make the grade as a thriller.
Dead in a Box
Unusual use of the boat and an interesting story. Again lacked the polish of some of the scripts, but worked well within the limitations of the challenge.
Special mentions for Diplopia, Adrift (Html) and Second Chance.
The Abraham Lincoln Award for paying attention in class goes to :
Constitution: Upriver
The O.J Simpson ( How did he get away with that?) Award goes to:
Second Chance
And the Cheech and Chong award goes to:
Miss Bronikus
One thing that was really remarkable about this competition was that all 40 or so scripts were readable and enjoyable. I think everyone should be very proud of their work, especially given the length of time you had to write.
